Mariela Kohon from Justice for Colombia gave up her time to attend the UNI Europa Youth Conference in Manchester to give a presentation and explain the issues affecting the people of Colombia in particular trade unionists.

The UK trade unions are actively supporting the work of "Justice for Colombia" and the presentation did give a chilling feel to all participants who saw what was happening to trade unionists in Colombia.

UNI Europa Youth confirmed that we would get more active with the campaign and promote their work in our seminars and also agreed to assist wherever possible to pursue their aims. Many participants would take the issue back to their unions to highlight the issue more.

Justice for Colombia was established by UK unions in 2002 as a response to the appalling human rights crisis in Colombia. It has expanded its support to Ireland and also to several European countries.
